Hi Maciej, Do you mean use OpCode 01 (INITIALIZE MAILBOX) to set a 24-bit address for mailbox in place of OpCode 81? Verifying the change would be a challenge. Do you have an old adapter to test it with? If you do, go ahead and make the changes. I will be happy to review. I have only a BT-757 adapter. Thanks, Khalid
